# Databases Management in Siteworx

SiteWorx provides tools to manage your website’s **MySQL** or **MariaDB databases**. The control panel allows you to **create**, **manage**, and **delete** databases without using the command line. Databases store the information for web applications like content management systems and e-commerce platforms.

For direct database administration, SiteWorx provides access to **phpMyAdmin**. You can use phpMyAdmin to perform tasks such as:

- Importing and exporting database backups.
- Running SQL queries.
- Editing table data directly.

The articles in this section explain how to perform common database management tasks in the SiteWorx control panel.

    While InterWorx allows the ability for SiteWorx accounts to use non-prefixed databases and database users, it is currently not possible to create non-prefixed databases, or non-prefixed users, from the SiteWorx interface.
